Description
This comprehensive history of Naples spans over two centuries, from the collapse of the Parthenopean Republic in 1799 to the end of World War II. John Santore presents a rich tapestry of documents that reveal the city's social, political and economic developments during this period.
The book explores key events such as the Bourbon restoration, the Risorgimento, and the catastrophes of the 20th century, including epidemic, fascism, and world wars. It also examines the image of Naples at the end of the 18th-century Grand Tour and its place within a unified Italy.
With over 168 illustrations, maps, and various documents, this volume provides a unique insight into the history of Naples. The book concludes with texts documenting recent reforms and new economic and social directions that may point to a sustained renewal of Neapolitan life.
